Diego Pavia’s time with the Ravens ends when the team waives the QB before camp; sign Ethan Pocic

Diego Pavía, who signed a contract with the Baltimore Ravens after becoming the first Heisman finalist since 2014, is a free agent again.

The franchise made the move just a week before Baltimore’s first day of training camp practice on July 29.

The Ravens released QB Pavia on Thursday, July 23 and announced he had been waived.

The move has made room for veteran center Ethan Pocic, who officially agreed to his deal as a free agent.

QB Pavia was brought to the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in April after becoming the first undrafted player in 12 years.

The roster option is still open after the Ravens moved on from Pavia: starter Lamar Jackson, veterans Tyler Huntley and Skylar Thompson, and undrafted UConn quarterback Joe Fagnano.

Pavia closed his Ravens career second among all Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players, averaging 334.8 total yards per game, and led Vanderbilt to a 10-3 record, which was the first 10-win season in school history.

The Ravens signed Pocic to a one-year contract last week for $4.5 million, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Networks.
